Recasting=Reboot. In this situation they would perform about the same. And we all know how hard fanboys are on actresses in this genre in general. Do you really think audiences would respond well to the most popular female characters being played by older actresses in action films??

So Batman Forever is a reboot in your estimation? Or no because they used the same actor for Alfed? That's not what a reboot is.

If they retain McAvoy and Fassebender, how does that qualify as a reboot? I think we are now steering this thread into arguing about semantics despite the fact we all basically agree what will become of this franchise.
